Protea Hotel by Marriott Zambezi River Lodge

On the banks of the Zambezi in Katima Mulilo — a riverfront lodge steps from the Zambezi River and minutes from the Zambezi Museum, Caprivi Arts Centre and the Katima Mulilo Open Market. It’s within easy walking distance of the city center and a short drive to the stadium and nearby conservancy; the local airport (Mpacha) is about 22 km away.

Forty-two air-conditioned rooms keep things simple and modern, each with a refrigerator, desk, coffee/tea maker and private bathroom stocked with complimentary toiletries and a hair dryer. Complimentary Wi‑Fi and garden or river-adjacent views make it a relaxed base — think river-breeze mornings and practical, comfortable rooms.

Swim in indoor and outdoor pools, grill at the barbecue area, or unwind in the garden. Concierge and tour/ticket assistance help arrange local excursions, while on-site laundry, dry cleaning and transfer/car-rental services keep logistics easy. Free self-parking is available onsite.

Event-ready with conference space, meeting rooms and a business center. Complimentary wireless internet and luggage storage round out practical conveniences for meetings and events.

Dine at Tafule Yaka Restaurant or grab a drink at the bar/lounge; limited-hour room service is available. English breakfast can be ordered for a fee.
